Windrush Leadership Programme

About the Programme
The programme is funded by the Nursing Midwifery Council. It offers, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish nurses and midwives (band 5-7) from a Black, Asian and Global Majority background a bespoke leadership development to become Florence Nightingale Foundation Nurses and Midwives and develop as future leaders of healthcare. The programme is to celebrate those who arrived on HV Empire MS Windrush.
